Embracing Jiu Jitsu in Your 30s: Pros and Cons
Starting a new journey in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) in your 30s may seem like a daunting task, but the rewards far outweigh the challenges.
Train Jiu jitsu with Intention
You can just show up to class and learn whatever your coach is teaching that day and just go with it.
Training Jiu Jitsu in your 30s
Training in jiu-jitsu isn't easy, and starting jiu-jitsu in your 30s can be even tougher. I began my jiu-jitsu journey at the age of 33, and I must admit that it wasn't an easy journey.
Keep your crap off the mats
If you're having a bad day, just make sure you don't go on the mats angry to release some steam on your training partners.
An average week of Jiu Jitsu
There are weeks where I just feel on top of the world. I can hit my new technique on everyone and I'm just choking people out.
How do I roll with lower belts
The other day I had another fellow blue belt asking me - "how do I deal with rolling with lower belts?"
Building confidence on the mats
Building confidence on the mat is important. If you don't, you're going to have a hard time on the mats.
Jiu Jitsu High
Being high on jiu jitsu isn't something you will feel until a bit later in your journey.
If you're not attacking, you're defending
In jiu jitsu and many other sports, your ability to attack is very important. Because if you're not attacking, it's safe to say, you're probably defending.
